KK's Priest - "Raise Your Fists" (video)

Trucks roll in dead of night
Full steam at dawn
We’ll be ready at first light
Another show is born
Rigs go up the sound
Is flying high in the air
The stage is set
Doors fly open
Metal everywhere

Lights go down get ready
We all stand rock steady
We all want to see you everyone

Raise your fists in the air
Let’s rock the nations everywhere

Pyro explodes the ground is shakin
We like it loud
Tonight we’ll make history
Together we stand proud
Lights go down get ready
We all stand rock steady
We all want to see you everyone

Raise your fists in the air
Let’s rock the nations everywhere

Raise your fists in the air
Let’s rock the nations everywhere
Raise your fists in the air
Let’s rock the nations everywhere
Raise your fists in the air
Let’s rock the nations everywhere

Let’s join together with fists in the air

Τρία πρώην μέλη των Judas Priest δημιούργησαν πέρυσι τους KK's Priest. Πρόκειται για τον εμβληματικό κιθαρίστα των Priest (από το 1970 έως το 2011) KK Downing, τον τραγουδιστή Tim "Ripper" Owens και τον drummer Les Binks, ο οποίος στην πορεία (φέτος) αντικαταστάθηκε από τον Sean Elg (βλ. Cage, The Three Tremors, Nihilist κλπ). Την παρέα συμπληρώνουν ο κιθαρίστας A.J. Mills (Hostile) και ο μπασίστας Tony Newton (Voodoo Six). Το ντεμπούτο της μπάντας φέρει τον τίτλο "Sermons of the Sinner" και κυκλοφορεί ήδη...

Δελτίο τύπου: «KK’s Priest - ‘Sermons of the Sinner’ - 10 new songs available on CD disc, single disc vinyl with bonus CD album, digital download and via streaming - is a musical statement that KK Downing's heavy metal ride is far from over after his extended hiatus.

“The whole concept is the fact that I continue proudly to be who I am and what I am and do what I do,” declares Downing. “It's been nearly 10 years. I'm back making music.” Downing assembled former Judas Priest singer Tim “Ripper” Owens, Hostile guitarist A.J. Mills, former Voodoo Six bassist Tony Newton, and DeathRiders / Cage drummer Sean Elg to create Sermons Of The Sinner.

Downing says the word “sinner” in the album title refers to his famous solo in that classic song of the same name, noting that fans are always hoping for new music to sound like the Judas Priest classics. KK’s Priest's new material is most certainly an homage.

They have unleashed an album with a modern sound that hearkens back to what fans have always loved about Downing and his music and which still sounds fresh. The high speed album opener “Hellfire Thunderbolt” offers a fictitious take on how metal arrived before the masses were ready for it.

Rousing rockers like “Raise Your Fists” and “Wild And Free” revel in the passion and excess that metal fans embrace. The guitar interplay is intense and inspiring, and the band is firing on all cylinders.»
